I rocked out with Manchester Orchestra last night in Denver. I’ve gone from being introduced to seeing them live… to solid fan in 2 days. This video is from their Hollywood show last week… Mind blowing Denver video to come.
The song above (Colly Strings – I’m Like a Virgin Losing a Child) is from their first album released in 2006.
Grab their newly released album and enjoy the growth of Manchester Orchestra with me. Simple Math was released on May 9th, 2011, it isn’t even a month old… songs 6, 7 and 8 played together will change your life.
6 – Virgin
7 – Simple Math
8 – Leave it Alone
Simple Math is simply a refresh on something artists tend to veer away from these days — actually making a complete album. Thank you Manchester for not following the normal and keeping the album alive.
The new sounds you install into your old songs + an absolutely mind blowing live performance = impossible to not love you. Thanks for the show.

If you can guess what this purpose of creating this video was for just by watching it... then you obviously must have been present at the Charles Schulz Celebrity Golf Event.
“Why not own a box Range’ for yourself? This product and accompanying television commercial were specifically designed to raise money for The Charles Schulz Celebrity Golf event, a 501 C3 charitable organization that has already donated over $2,000,000 to The Boys & Girls Clubs and other children’s charities throughout Sonoma County California.”
Talk about a creative way to finally see a non profit raise some money. 501 C3s — More humor please.

Marketing through education... genius.
Audi is a dominant force at Le Mans, winning 9 times in the last 11 years and it’s an aspect of Audi that perfectly exemplifies the Audi ethos and approach to engineering and product development. In short, it’s Vorsprung durch Technik in action.
In 1923, the winning LeMans team completed 128 laps in 24 hours. Last year, an Audi R15 TDI plus completed a record setting 397 laps.

Version 2 of the Coors Light mini-keg speakers have arrived to the home. Excited to see how these directional tweeters and drivers will blow my inner ear.
Props go out to the tester Testerman for dreaming these little beauties up.
Look for them in the store… soon.

Can't forget the Doug Smith Show.
For those of you fortunate enough to hear the stories from my trip to west texas to document the amazing Doug Smith… you will appreciate this. For those of you fortunate enough to witness this performance of a lifetime – you already have an appreciation for Doug and his incredible story.
A true musical genius behind the piano. This is the first track I share with people to help them understand what a piano is supposed to sound like.
Get this song: West Texas
Get the most amazing live piano album of all time: Doug Smith – Live
There are a couple reasons why I have never applied myself in the corporate world. This is one of them…
“Back in my early corporate days, this came as quite a shock to me: that people sitting around the table didn’t always say what they were REALLY thinking! Shock! Horror!
But why would anyone lie? Aren’t we all meant to be on the same team?
But after a while, you get used to it. After a while, it’s normal. After a while, you learn to laugh at it.
And that’s when the cartoon appears…”
Interestingly enough… you can apply this concept directly to relationships too.
Thanks Hugh.

“The goal was to capture the beautiful Milky Way galaxy along with one of the most amazing mountains I know El Teide. I have to say this was one of the most exhausting trips I have done. There was a lot of hiking at high altitudes and probably less than 10 hours of sleep in total for the whole week. Having been here 10-11 times before I had a long list of must-see locations I wanted to capture for this movie, but I am still not 100% used to carrying around so much gear required for time-lapse movies.”
